As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I can confidently say that this year’s Gamescom is shaping up to be the mother of all gaming events! With a record-breaking number of exhibitors and country pavilions, it seems that the entire gaming world is coming together in Cologne, Germany.
Gamescom 2024 is expected to break previous records by hosting over 1,400 exhibitors, as announced by the organizers. This represents an impressive 15% rise compared to 2023, which had 1,200 exhibitors. Additionally, the number of country pavilions is set to expand substantially to 48 from 37 different countries – another record high. In contrast, Gamescom 2023 featured 33 pavilions representing 26 nations.
Each year, I eagerly anticipate the event that unfolds at the Cologne Koelnmesse in Germany, a gathering that’s renowned among global gamers. With E3 having been cancelled last year, Gamescom has stepped up as a vital platform for developers and publishers to unveil their latest projects. It’s heartening to see the gaming industry continue to back this significant event.
Gerald Böse, head of Koelnmesse, states: “The world’s leading gaming event is thriving. A week before Gamescom begins, we are thrilled to share these impressive stats. Alongside our partners and co-organizer game – The German Games Industry Association, we are also introducing remarkable advancements that enhance the variety and allure of Gamescom.”
As a thrilled enthusiast, I can’t help but share the exciting news: The number of country pavilions is set to surge remarkably, going from 37 countries last year to an impressive 48 this time around! This is a new peak, surpassing even the 2023 total of 33 pavilions from 26 countries.
If you’d like to catch up with the event, here are the details for watching all the newest game announcements at the official Gamescom starting times.
